Michael Crabtree:The 49er draftee out of Texas Tech still hasn't signed. Shocker, I know. There have not been any major developments since the whole Jets tampering charges story, but I thought I would add a quote or two from our San Fransisco correspondent Matt Barrows. "There's been a notion floating around that the 49ers don't need Crabtree and that the receiver wouldn't fit into their sledge-hammer offense anyway. I disagree. Every account of Crabtree I've gotten is that he is as tough as nails on the field and that he loves to block defensive backs as much as he does catch the ball." And another: "The bigger issue is the reputation of the front office. In the end, that's what this standoff is all about. Agent Eugene Parker felt that this was a battle he could win. He saw a team that hasn't had a winning season since 2002, has a team president under the age of 30, and a GM and negotiator under the age of 40." [Sacramento Bee] (0)(13659)

Deion Sanders: Teams Are Contacting the 49ers About CrabtreeDeion Sanders said during a segment on NFL Network that Michael Crabtree is willing to sit out the entire season should the 49ers not meet his contract demands. Sanders, who was represented by Eugene Parker (Crabtree's Agent) when he was a player, also said that several teams have contacted San Fransisco about the possibility. Deion said that the teams wanting to trade for Crabtree would be willing to give Crabtree a $40 million deal. I can only hope that somebody works a trade for him so I don't have to root for Shaun Hill. [Pro Football Talk] (0)(13054)

“Every day he gets out here and every rep that he takes, makes him just that much better,” Singletary said. “He’s been studying his tail off, and it shows out here. He doesn’t have a whole lot of questions on the field. He’s running the right routes and doing the right things. It’s just a matter of taking every step with every second, every minute, to get him up to speed.”
